I was given two rear glass fibre wings with car but they are a bit twisted to say the least, so I decided to have a look at the metal wings that came off it.They aren't as bad as I first thought, just the front and rear edges have rotted, so I've decided to repair and refit them.

As I'm working on the drivers side Im going to try to fit it to the new flange panel before attaching either piece to the car. Hopefully it will pay off later.The front edge wasn't too badBut the rear was worse

I got away with with putting a strengthener behind the front flange and redrilling through the existing holes.

Had a look at the rear wing inner panels today and got a surprise how well they went together.After reading about other people's problems with fitting I thought I would be in for a problem.

The next job was to check how the flange panel looked against the wing.Three of the captive nuts were nowhere near the existing holes.They're not quite as far away as they appear in the picture but they still needed adjusting by about 30mm.

So I welded a piece behind the existing holes to keep the strength in the flang lip.

I did consider that but decided to go on the outside because parts of the body are quite thin under the flange and I envisaged a problem seam welding so close to the edge.This will give me the opportunity to weld to slightly thicker metal higher up the body (hopefully). I will also be joddling the edge to give a flatter finish as with the wing repair.
